This guy is killing any chance we may get Matt Jones at #46.
pete (medina,ny): hiya mort, great article on Matt Jones. I got to see him a little bit, but i don't see why he wouldn't get a chance to be a QB. Sure he's a great athlete and could be utilized in other positions, but why not stay with the position he's played throughout his collegiate career?
Chris Mortensen: Well, Sylvester Croom and Greg Robinson kind of agree with you. They don't know why teams aren't looking at him as a QB. But let me say this. Matt's throwing shoulder is not healthy. Had it been healthy during his time at Arkansas to where he would have improved as a QB, he would not only be the first player taken, but 10 teams would try to trade up to get him. Even talking to Matt, he understands why he's being projected to another position.
Chris did a very short 20 minute chat and took 5 questions (all very similar) on Matt Jones. He's hyping the kid like crazy. I really wish we could draft Smith at #2 but it looks like we will need to trade down and get a late 1st pick to get Jones. If we trade down we should still be able to get Carnell Williams in the 10-15 range. McMichael, Chambers, Booker, Jones, Ricky and Cadillac .... daaayyyuum.
